I know there is a calculator somewhere that tells you what you need.
Total GB to backed up, time allotted to backup said data, cost of
storage per GB, etc, etc.
Does anyone have a web link to it?
Consider upgrading the (2) LTO1 drives in the SCALAR 100 to (4) LTO2
drives backup your data from file services to SAN, then dump that data
from SAN to the tape drives allowing it to work all day without
interrupting your data flow and be done with it.
Hope this helps, /ALE

> Hello All- We are looking for a new hardware solution to go

> server and an ADIC Scalar 100 with 2 LTO1 drives. We have
> W2k/2k3, UNIX and Linux clients.
> Our data has increased to ~750GB and we are adding some
> databases soon which will put us up into the 1TB realm. The
> old girl (ADIC) cannot keep up anymore.
>
> We are looking at adding a Linux database server attached to
> a SAN (SAN vendor unknown at this point) via Fibre Channel.
> We also have an EqualLogic SAN which our Windows servers are
> attached to now via iSCSI.
> We are looking to do disk-disk snapshots and back up those
> images to tape (probably LTO2 in order to preserve the
> investment in all our LTO1 media). We would like to attach
> the SANs directly to the library/hw solution if possible.
>
> Spectralogic's T120 w/4 LTO2 drives has been suggested to us already.
>
> Suggestions on solutions, or good research websites that
> compare backup solutions are much appreciated.
